Tracy A. Klein
Tracy A. Klein
Central City
Tracy A. Klein, 62, of Central City, passed away on Friday, Jan. 27. A celebration of life will be held in the spring.
Tracy was born on Oct. 2, 1960. He graduated from Kennedy High School. Tracy worked at Quaker Oats and created his second family for seven years, and previously owned Delhi Locker, fulfilling one of his lifetime dreams. His other dream was to own a lake cabin in Minnesota, which was also fulfilled.
He is survived by his wife of 19 years, Linda; siblings, Dan (Sara), Laura Evans, Heidi Lis; children, Carrie (Brad), Jeremiah (Cat), Chris, Robert (Laurie), Cori (Steven), Kody, and fur babies; and grandchildren, Madison, Kayden, Mason, Alayna, Logan, Kinsey, Gabby, Dakota, Rhonin and Evilyn. He was preceded in death by his father, Delmar; and brother, Moe (Anthony) Klein.
He will be remembered for his unconditional love and care for his family and friends. His favorite thing was helping his grandkids learn to do what he loved to do: fishing, deer hunting, and mushroom hunting. He impacted so many people with his generosity. He would always be there no matter what, for anyone anytime. He will be deeply missed by anyone who had the pleasure of meeting him.
